Culkin also told of midnight shopping sprees with the pop star. One time, Jackson and fellow oddball music great Prince took him to the FAO Schwarz toy store on Fifth Avenue after closing.

"It was just one of the fun things to do when you hang out with Michael," Culkin said.



This is either false, misquote, or Prince was sizing up Mike's relationship with kids, or just getting his jollys on at mike.

This couldn't have been in earnest, could it have?

I heard about that this morning on teh radio. I find it hard to believe.

What reason would Macaulay have to lie about this? It would only devaluate his value as a witness if he did...

Does't anyone remember when Mike was trying to get Prince to some music for the
BAD CD. This could have taken place around that time. Plus Prince has said there was never any rilvary with Mike and that he talks with him from time to time.

laurarichardson said:

Exactly.

Michael Jackson and Prince taking Macauly Culkin to a toy store?

laurarichardson said:

no see Mike didn't met mac til late 90. So this means Mike and P were hanging from 90 -93.

P at FAO Schwarz, he probably showed off and played that big piano.

this is the saddest thing about Prince fans. they don't care about what is true, they only believe what they want to believe to continue their own preconceived notions about what they want Prince to be like. who would know more about whether Mac hung out with Prince, Mac or you? what evidence do you posses that would dispute this ever happened? that doesn't matter though, you just want to continue to live in your own fantasy land where Prince isn't a real person but just somebody you fantasize about, and he is only like what you want him to be like, and does things you only wish or fantasize he does, not who and what he really is and actually does things you wouldn't imagine he would because you don't know him.

this is beyond just an opinion, this is blind ignorance and living in fantasy. oh God, did your image of Prince just crumble before you because he may have behaved in a manner you never imagined he would?

you don't know the man, therefore you are in no position to have a realistic belief of what he would or wouldn't do.

the term she used is hard to believe, not i do believe. save your rantage for someone else who actually IS outta touch, eh?

dumbass said:

WTF? bit of an over reaction...yes?
she wasn't defending MJ was she?

Free Toys
Hanging with Prince and MJ
Banging that girl from the 70's show.


ok, I'm jealous.

prince as in his son.....not prince as in the freak...


media just read too much into what culkin said..


i fell for it too...

sosgemini said:

Oh yeah, good call!

first time i saw this, the first thing i thought was, "he's talking about michael's KID prince, not prince who played THE KID in purple rain."

i can't believe more people didn't catch that right off the bat.

Anxiety said:

i certainly thought that at first, but then i thought, "hang on - didn't Culkin and MJ hang around years ago" - i.e. before Prince MJ was born.

i thought they hung out a long while back - didn't realise they were still going toy shopping only a few years back.

testicleman said:

and i certainly can't picture an early-to-mid-nineties-era prince going toy shopping with MJ and home alone boy. i could MAYBE see it around 82 or 83, just as a way for prince to do some schmoozing or something, i dunno...but prince never seemed the type to go running around with celebs unless it was some woman he was pursuing.

sosgemini said:

nope!


His son Prince wasn't born until 1996 or 97. Mac is talking about going toy shopping in the early 90's, during HOme ALone. He 'd have been too old for toy store's in 1996. He ain't talking about the baby.

klhk said:

Yea, mike was on tour until late 97. That trip would have been in the late 90's. and FAO's been closed for a few years now.

Why can't ppl believe Mike and P were in FAO during the early 90

Anyone notice that Mac's quote in the article has no mention of Prince? Maybe he didn't actually say it.

But DUMBASS, Prince is God havnt you realised yet!
become dedicated to the cause,worship at the church of Prince.
Or go away plzz.

sosgemini said:

That's what I thought when I read it. I was gonna say summin...but U already did...whew!

Stop overeacting. You need to get a grip

@ dumbass


what did I say to get shit throw in my face? Kinda touchy, that dumbass...

dumbass said:

Unlike MJ fans who have a great grip on reality & always approach every situation with an open mind.

Looking at pics of Mac, he seems awfully small and boyish for 24 years. I wonder was he given drugs to alter his size when he was a child actor to keep him small. They used to do this in Hollywood to children so they could play small children for a longer period of time without sudden gowth spurts. They still do this if the parent's approve. I think it's selfish.



I'm just saying.....

klhk said:

Do you actually believe that?
I mean really.
[Edited 5/12/05 10:54am]

Maybe Mike and prince double teamed him.

thedog said:

Mac is so lucky!

dumbass said:

I find it hard to believe too and I don't care if Mac was there and I wasn't. No one is implying that Prince isn't normal. What they and I find hard to believe is that he took a kid to a toy store. You never hear or see Prince with children. It is just something you don't see. Just like you don't see Michael gettin' all hot and heavy and having a bevy of beautiful ladies around him like Prince does.

Michael and women--can't see it.
Prince and kids--can't see it.
Both hang around the copy of folks that the other doesn't. You can't call it ignorance if you want, but that's how some of us orgers are.

You be the intelligent(sike!!)one.
